Interview with Nicci Talbot, Sex and Relationship Writer

Nicci Talbot is a freelance journalist and author of several sex & health books. She blogs about sex, relationships, parenting, health & wellbeing, and offers a personal shopping service for stylish, eco-friendly sex toys, products and sexperiences. Nicci is launching an adult dating site called Naughty Nicci. I so enjoyed talking with Nicci – we originally planned to do the podcast face to face, then snow appeared and diaries started to be juggled so we spoke over the phone instead. And so it came to pass that our first conversation, not having met one another, was of an intimate nature. We talked about Tantric sex – I divulged that I have ‘stacks of books on tantric sex in my bedroom’ – and yoni massage, we shared stories of massages and naked night clubs, which I haven’t been to, yet! I enjoyed hearing her experience. She was so candid and warm and open that it was easy to talk about being a woman, the fun of it and the troubles we can encounter too in understanding our bodies, balancing our hormones, learning about our sexuality – embracing and moving through changes like the menopause, knowing that we have other women, but especially someone like Nicci, to support us through the transition. Her latest book on The Menopause is on my ‘to buy list’ and having spoken to her I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
